I hate HDR, Dolby or otherwise. I think it’s a fad similar to 3D and will quietly fade away.

When we master a HDR show it is always done in Dolby and then a basic trim pass for HDR10 and then sometimes not even that. There are flags in the signal to turn on Dolby or HDR10 so sometimes we just pass it through monitors to see how it looks and say good enough.

We also master at 1000nits full field which most if not all consumer monitors cannot handle. Most are in the 600 range at 20%. You might get lucky and get 800 nits. I think you are better off just getting the best panel and HDR be damned. For my money nothing beats the LG OLED line. Nothing comes closer to representing a true image. CRT was the best but that tech is long gone.
